Kosher Pickles and Ham Sandwiches

November 11, 2010 By Larry Hochman Leave a Comment

The thought came to me about an hour after a profound conversation with one of my mentors – one of those spontaneous things that just pops up in your consciousness…

It doesn’t matter if the pickle is kosher, if you put it on a ham sandwich.

Actually, thinking about it now it wasn’t all that spontaneous. It came as I was getting my daughter a foot long ham and provolone at Subway…with lettuce and cucumbers.

There’s nothing wrong with ham sandwiches. They’re terrific, especially if you’re on the go, chomping one down between your after school job and jazz band practice – as she was that day.

And kosher pickles…well they’re just magnificent. Especially the garlic dill kind. For some people they’re an obsession.

Live and let live. It’s all good.

It’s when you think somehow that the ham sandwich will take on kosher properties because of the pickle you plopped on top of it. That’s when you’re begging to be disappointed.

Sorry, but there’s just nowhere in the Talmud that says that sandwich is gonna turn kosher. It’s a pork product. The window dressing doesn’t matter.

*** ***

You can put all the bells and whistles you want on your business. You can apply fancy language to your personal development. You can use words like Law of Attraction and Manifest a hundred times a day.

If at your core you still think and feel with scarcity…

If you’re still walking around in

    fear

of what you don’t have, rather than being an open vessel of all the good that’s looking for you…

If you don’t have a profound sense of

    appreciation

for the blessings you’ve been given…

(and on Veterans Day, with 21st century technology and cheap and abundant food, you have plenty of blessings)

If you don’t genuinely see yourself as a dance partner with a loving, giving Universe…

then all the techniques, twists and manipulations you’re playing with are really just putting a kosher pickle on a ham sandwich.

Wanna make a pile of money? Wanna “manifest” the love of your life? Want rock hard abs?

Wanna live with a sense of purpose and excitement? Want people to genuinely look up to you?

Want peace?

Commit to it.

Commit to change at the core. Throw out what you know.

Because you are a child of God. You are magnificent, no matter what your self-talk has allowed your life circumstances to create.

You are a King, or a Queen (to be written in the near future).

You have the right ingredients for the perfect sandwich….for you.

If you’re cool with the ham sandwich, so am I. We all have our roles to play.

If you want something more, re-invent yourself from the inside out. You already have the ingredients to change your sandwich. It’s just a matter of unlocking your own personal refrigerator and creating it.

Your Chef De Cuisine,
Larry

So proud of my new co-creating pal at THE END GAME. She’s making more money, attracting more people and having more fun. It’s all about allowing the genius inside to overwhelm the fear and doubt that’s been around too long. Four more people will play THE END GAME with me.

Regression To The Mean (It Can Be Mean)

November 2, 2010 By Larry Hochman Leave a Comment

larry hochman statistics

 

For anyone who made progress in any part of their life…then slipped back. Wanna get back to that good place???

I was finishing up at the gym this evening, and ran into a guy I see every so often. He was talking about how much he’s looking forward to Election Day coming and going, so he doesn’t have to listen to the political ads anymore.

.

Normally I just let sleeping dogs lie. But this time I went for it.

.

“Dude…the easiest way not to listen to the ads is to not watch the TV. I haven’t had cable in the house in more than a year!”

.

(Yes, I actually called him Dude.)

.

His answer back was interesting. He told me he had moved into a house without cable, and he just had three channels that didn’t come in well. So he became a big time reader. He was enjoying all the new ideas and knowledge…

.

Until his friend brought over a cable box, which he installed.

.

That was the end of his reading career. He went right back to the boob tube, and the dumbing-down that goes with it.

.
In statistical analysis, it’s called Regression To The Mean.

.

In other words, you can have a big time hot streak. Things go great. If you’re an athlete, you get more hits, make more baskets, etc.

.

If you’re a salesperson or recruiter, you’re signing up everything that moves. You make more money.

.

And the BIG one for a lot of people…if you’re losing weight or otherwise improving your health, it’s really common to keep it off for a while, then over time, put it back on.

.

And eventually, your hot streak ends. You go back to the average of what you’ve always done.

.

That’s what mean means…average.

.

Depressing, huh?

.

Well, it doesn’t have to be.

.

*** ***

.

The reason people regress to the mean…the reason they go back to where they’ve hung around most of the time – is that although they’ve made some changes to their behavior, they haven’t made the BIG changes to the way they think and feel.

.

We see this all the time. I’ve been there myself…more times than I care to admit.

.

We get hyped up on a new program. Or we see someone strutting around with hundred dollar bills falling out of their pockets, or pants falling off with the weight loss.

.

We get excited over the marketing of the “next big thing.” We fall for it…every time…

.

Because it’s easier to believe the answer is “out there” somewhere.

.

It’s a classic bad news – good news situation.

.

The answer IS “out there.”

.

In fact, there are hundreds of answers out there…for whatever the challenge is.

.

And once you’re in a state of readiness to work it correctly, any number of them can be the right answer.

.

And something that looked good when you weren’t right, looks silly and stupid when your head and heart are in the right place.

.

Yup…Regression To The Mean can be mean.

.

So there’s a simple answer….

.

Change your “mean.”

.

Change the world around you by changing yourself, on a deep spiritual, emotional, thought level.

.

Once you do that, you get big and brave enough to follow through on the “real world” changes that show up.

.

*** ***

.

A few quick tips on changing your mean…

.

1. Cut yourself off from the things and people that anchor you to the parts you want to change. Dump the TV. Dump the newspaper. Dump the social networking sites that don’t challenge you to your highest good, or at least put you in a genuinely good mood. Facebook might be one of them. Cut the cord if you need to!

.

2. Run with a person or group of people that gives off the kind of energy you want to be around. Do what you gotta do to get close to them. In a lot of cases that may mean you have to learn to…

.

3. Serve. Create value for others around you. Be a better listener. Be willing to exchange energy (money) for stuff and services that challenge and inspire. Hint: if you’re reading everyone else’s inspirational free stuff and not contributing in some way, you are not fully engaged and will eventually go back to the mean.

.

There’s more – lots more. But that’s a pretty good start!

.

Create a new mean for yourself…starting now!

.

Your Pal,
Larry

Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits!!!

July 10, 2010 By Larry Hochman Leave a Comment

They’re everywhere!

OK, not really.

But if you look on the front lawn or backyard of my house, the chances are pretty good you’ll see a rabbit.

Yeah, it’s no big deal. We border reservoir property in the back. Acres and acres of woods. It’s actually beautiful to look at. Even though our property stops about thirty feet into the woods, it feels like it’s all ours.

And of course, in a sense it is. In that same sense, it’s yours too.

But that’s a story for another time. :)

Anyway, back to the rabbits…

The funny thing about the rabbits, is we’ve been living in this house for 12 years now. In that time we’ve seen all kinds of animals. Plenty of deer. Wild turkeys. Pheasant. Raccoons, turtles, snakes. Even the occasional coyote.

But until this year, never a rabbit.

About two months ago the first rabbit showed up. We took notice because we’ve never seen them before. It was kinda cool. Then I forgot about it…

Until the next day, when I saw another. I know it was another, because it was a different color than the first one.

Then there were more. And more. Last rabbit sighting: about half an hour ago.

So what’s the deal with all the rabbits? Of course we know the answer. They breed like – well, rabbits!

And apparently Mama Bunny and Papa Bunny got busy in our backyard, and started a family.

It’s like that sometimes….nothing, nothing, nothing.

Then…SHAZAM! A bevy of bunnies.

*** ***

Think for second. It’s like that in our own lives. We want something, or we want to do something.

And nothing’s there.

So the smart ones – the ones who understand the process of manifestation, build themselves up. They build their skills, their attitudes, their readiness to receive.

They lay the groundwork.

And they get little hints of success to coax them along. Nothing big. Just a few under the radar achievements.

Until all of a sudden…

SHAZAM!!!

Rabbits everywhere.

Wild success.

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

They celebrate.

Then they joyfully look for something else to do.

Kinda what we’re doing here.

Wanna play with us in the bunny patch?

Your Partner in Prosperity,
Larry

To Sheila: It’s All About You!

June 18, 2010 By Larry Hochman Leave a Comment

I had the good fortune to reconnect with a high school friend of mine named Sheila through Facebook. As far as I can tell she’s not involved in marketing, sales, or any business type venture. She’s just a great lady who is having some personal challenges at the moment.

So when I put out my Facebook status one morning she responded differently than most.

The status: “Spend a day making it all about them, not you. See what happens.”

Good advice if you’re trying to build a sales organization of any kind, or if you’re trying to get customers. They’re much less interested in how cool you are than you might think.

They’re much more interested in knowing how you’re going to help them get what they want.

Of course “making it all about them” takes on a completely different meaning if you’ve spent years putting everyone’s needs ahead of your own.

And while Sheila didn’t use those words, she sure as heck hinted that’s what had happened. She felt tired, frustrated, unappreciated, and had forgotten who she really was.

I didn’t like seeing this. Sheila was one tough chick in high school. One of the few female body builders I knew…actually the only female body builder I knew. This was in the early 1980’s, before gym memberships were cool for teens. Sheila was fun loving and kind…and she also knew how to take care of business.

The years do lots of things to us, positive and negative. Sheila looked at what I meant as an invitation to take ego out of the way in business and tried to fit it into her own life. It just didn’t work.

Her exact quote: “I spend everyday making it all about them…and what do I get in return? Nothing…except a broken heart.”

So now begins the process of Sheila learning to say, “It’s all about me.” Seems like this is what she is ready for. Those of us who learned to put ourselves first…before anyone else know the benefits of doing so.

We heal from the disappointments of not living up to the expectations of others.

We heal from the disappointments of others not living up to our expectations.

We learn to enjoy our own company no matter what anyone else thinks or says.

We bring into our lives people with complimentary energy. We get to genuinely enjoy those around us.

We attract new opportunities and better life situations. We just feel better.

We create room in our hearts to care for others – to think of their needs because we know how to meet our own in any situation.

Yes, Sheila…it IS all about you. Enjoy getting that connection back to the “girl power” you knew.

Be the strong, confident loving woman that’s waiting to come out.

Your Old, and New Friend,
Larry

P.S. I bet there are a lot of “Sheilas” reading this..both genders. It’s all about you too!

Memorial Day Message: Honor and Civility

May 29, 2010 By Larry Hochman Leave a Comment

Hi All,

CLICK HERE for the audio I recorded for Memorial Day, 2009…

Six minutes about your responsibility to live big, and to honor those who died for your liberty to treat it with respect.

That’s the 2009 version, and I’m going to stick my two cents in right here with the 2010 message…

I’m looking at the blogs, and listening to the conversations around me. The absolute disrespect we are hurling at our political leaders, and those who disagree with us…it amazes me.

It is a dishonor to those who gave our lives so we can have liberty.

Look, I understand what happens when you have a computer and the ability to speak your mind without having to interact directly with those who can read your words.

We allow our anger and our frustration to boil over. We participate in a free-for-all of hostility and hatred. The consequences for that kind of hate speech are minimal.

Or are they?

The fabric of our society is our CIVILITY. To disagree with the positions of our elected officials while honoring them as people and the process that allowed them to become elected in the first place.

It’s the same process that allows them to be voted out of office.

When we write and say things out of hatred – when we make it personal – we tear at the fabric our society was built upon.

We stop hearing each other. We make it easy to make decisions by listening to the voices of intolerance, bigotry and narrow self-interest.

Simply put, we become dumber.

And this is no time to be dumb. We need the best minds. We need an informed electorate now more than any other time.

Calling each other names plays into the hands of those who wish us ill.

It also happens to be a favorite tactic of those who kill and blow themselves up because someone’s religion or skin color is different.

It’s Memorial Day weekend. Honor those who gave their lives for your liberty.

Discuss. Debate. Disagree.

Organize. Make sure your elected officials know what you want, and why you want it.

Work to vote your favorites in and vote the ones you disagree with out.

And honor the sacrifice of our veterans by cherishing the values that a prosperous society needs to stay prosperous.

Your Friend,
Larry Hochman

What People are Saying

In just 60 minutes of coaching, Larry helped me look at my business obstacles in different ways, and suggested specific steps I could take to resolve these issues. Since our session and by applying Larry’s methods, I’ve experienced a 30% bump in my business income (my best month ever). I directly attribute this to working with Larry and feeling more confident in receiving money for my expertise.

Dr. Bob Clarke

My monthly business income has almost doubled in the past few months. A lot of that is because of my coaching with Larry.

Chad F. Ohio

I met Larry when he came to the Capital District to speak at a business seminar. Watching Larry Speak was mesmerizing and I was able to take so much away from his speech.I also hired Larry for one of his series of coaching and learned so much in the hours we spoke. He helped me set a great foundation for a game plan I set in motion. Larry is great to speak with, can put you in the right direction with grace and ease. I would hire him again without a split second of hesitation.”

Christine Harvey Berry New York

I’ve coached with Larry before and always came away with something good that I could use. Last winter I hit a bad patch of doldrums — just couldn’t get out of my own way. I definitely needed a jump start and figured that Larry was the man to do it. I told Larry I needed someone to kick my a** – in a good way – and he has done a great job. As always. Thanks to Larry, I’m back on track physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I’m getting stuff done.

B.K. Washington

Larry’s influence has helped me embrace, acknowledge and appreciate whatever is going on in my life. I feel myself growing in confidence and stature as I rediscover the imaginative, reactive magnificent ME. I’m seeing life from a whole new perspective, loving this idea of playing BIG, right now it feels like an overarching radiance, beginning to notice far reaching ripple effects as I dance through life, creating a splash and inviting people to join in.

Emily P. United Kingdom

Larry has a gift for telling it like it is, has a real, down to earth approach to motivating people to jump not just ahead in their lives, but onto a whole new higher plane than ever thought possible.

Katherine A. Maryland

In a world where so many people are stuck in a metaphysical morass, Larry has a uniquely tender ability to reach out from the heart and touch your soul.

Richard C. Massachusetts

Working with Larry was very helpful and gave me a lot of strength. And I feel things for me are moving forward, I have a long way to go, but I’m confident in my path.

Timor P. Israel

Larry positively impacts my life in ways I am regularly surprised at, and am incredibly grateful for. He seems to have devoted his life to the enlightenment, freedom and liberation of ALL of us. A human being with such HUGE love and great intention is undeniable. He is simultaneously humble yet powerful. Wise yet playful and lighthearted. A great teacher, yet just one of us, learning as he goes. He inspires me to do and be all those things, too. A person doesn’t have to have it ALL figured out to lead another up to their next level, they just need to have gone a little before them. We are all here to uplift and inspire each other, and Larry gets that. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone. If you feel drawn to him, GO with that.

Liz M. California

Woo Hoo! connecting with you has already sent me in such a good direction! Thank you Larry.

Dianne C. Massachusetts

Larry is so spontaneous and has a wonderful gift of bringing joy, laughter, seriousness and his expertise in psychology that makes the time fun, uplifting and enlightening.

Phyllis S. Virginia
